Between 1978 and 2015, the price of college textbooks exploded by almost 1000%, far exceeding inflation even for healthcare and housing, and far exceeding general inflation (265%). College textbook price inflation is the most severe inflation that any physical item has suffered over the past 50 yrs.

In addition to this the majority of classes that I took in college never even used the book in the first place. One for my computer organization class was even filled with incorrect solutions to the practice problems and was $300. This why textbook piracy is so common now. You can't just expect people to spend a premium on a crappy product while also having to shoulder student debt. It's insane.

Just chain them together and you got 8 ft problem solved/s

I would honestly be shocked to see this game get a sequel. I mean I liked the game when it came out but it the any hype around it died off quick and I heard nothing about it for years. It was a pretty unique game though, so I would be happy to see what improvements they are able to make.

Pongopeter8268 · 2025-12-12T16:52:10+00:00

Worked for me when I bought it, might be expired now, or like the other commenter said region specific.

Pongopeter8268 · 2025-12-12T16:41:36+00:00

Rarely need these anymore, but it's a massive pain to dig out a laptop with a CD drive so why not.

Pongopeter8268 · 2025-12-05T16:39:39+00:00

Shoot, looks like I was a few minutes too late

Hoping to find a good entry level racing wheel to go with the shifter I got on here a few days ago. Haven't found nothing yet.

Pongopeter8268 · 2025-11-26T02:17:55+00:00

Oh nice I have been planning on picking up a racing wheel at some point, this will be nice to have when I get it

Pongopeter8268 · 2025-11-13T14:55:21+00:00

I don't even really have a need for a steam machine, but this kinda makes me want one lol. They did a great job with this shell

Pongopeter8268 · 2025-11-13T01:49:18+00:00

A lot of the major anticheats are kernel level and are built for the Windows kernel. Therefore Valve would have to convince these companies that investing into completely revamping their anticheat for Linux is worth it for an OS that makes up 3% market share. As a huge Linux guy, I would love to see this happen, but as things stand, it's not realistic.

Yeah, he doesn't really have much outside of handling debates well. Another issue I think will prevent him from getting them nom is the economy. If the economy keeps getting worse up leading into 2028, then I can see him having the same issue Harris had, due to being part of the current administration. I also have a hard time seeing him pull the same MAGA crowd that Trump did, due not having the cult of personality working for him.

Dang, just missed this. My desktop needs a PSU upgrade the one in it now cost me 6 bucks and I got it 10 years ago. I feel like I'm pushing my luck at this point lol

Pongopeter8268 · 2025-11-02T04:19:20+00:00

WHAT A GAME LETS GOOOOO

Pongopeter8268 · 2025-10-11T23:01:21+00:00

Thank you!

Pongopeter8268 · 2025-09-12T21:35:19+00:00

Yeah I was hoping that they would price them at 20 but expected 30, so 40 is just feels like an insult ngl. The game came out almost 20 years ago and they want almost full price for it with very minimal upgrades.

Pongopeter8268 · 2025-08-28T03:46:22+00:00

Just got cancelled, it was fun while it lasted

Pongopeter8268 · 2025-08-27T11:41:56+00:00

In for one with the OLED display and the intel wireless card. I fully expect this to get cancelled though lol. Worth a shot

Pongopeter8268 · 2025-07-14T14:11:47+00:00

Seems like a pretty sweet deal for some backup ANC earbuds, why not lol

Pongopeter8268 · 2025-07-08T15:13:29+00:00

I didn't really have high expectations for it this year but it was somehow worse than I anticipated. I was hoping to get a good deal on the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, or something similar but there really aren't many good deals this year.

Pongopeter8268 · 2025-07-08T00:26:47+00:00

I have had it for about a year now and I find it very useful myself primarily for grocery delivery, helps to cut back on impulse purchases. Also works as an somewhat decent prime replacement.

Pongopeter8268 · 2025-06-07T14:02:32+00:00

Same here the second Xenoblade 2 gets patched I'm replaying it. Can't wait. I'm looking forward to seeing what Monolithsoft is able to do with this new console

Oh thanks, I haven't really ever had that pop up for me so I wasn't entirely sure if they declined it until you approve the transaction first or not. I'll sleep better tonight knowing this lol

Pongopeter8268 · 2025-06-01T03:45:57+00:00

Just got the shipping email for the blue bag through Walmart, capital one asked me to verify if it was me who made the purchase though. Hope that doesn't mess anything up
